The Edel Publishing Group includes ZS Verlag with its licensed brands Dr. Oetker, Kochen & Genießen and Phaidon by ZS, as well as the publishing houses Edel Books, Eden Books, Edel Kids Books, Edel Colors and Edel Elements.

Strong brands such as Ernährungs-Docs, Apotheken Umschau, Thermomix®, and Pettersson & Findus, but also prominent authors from the sports segment (Björn Werner, Stefan Kretzschmar), well-known TV faces (Alfons Schuhbeck, Robert Atzorn, Andrea Kiewel), and social media stars (Sophia Thiel, Sarah & Dominic Harrison) stand for our high-quality books, which always have their finger on the pulse in terms of content.
